I’m a big fan of Nick Taleb. I think I’ve read everything he’s written.
The Cossacks having a good time writing a vulgar letter to the Sultan.
I also enjoy this comment:
It is reported that around 1675 the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV sent a letter to the Zaporozhian Cossacks, which put the ultimatum to make them stop attacking his lands and unconditionally surrendered to his rule. Dating of the list is uncertain, as is the fact that the letter is authentic or not. The recipient was Koshovyi Otaman Ataman Ivan Sirko, whose people actually often attacked areas of the Ottoman Empire.
I won’t repeat what they wrote, since it is very, very vulgar.
